I too have had MANY problems with US Bank. And they have been NO help in resolving any issues. I used their cash back reward links to get the rewards...well, that is a scam! I never got credit on hundreds of dollars worth of purchases. They gave me some excuse as to why--you can only go through the link one time. You can not come back and shop again after looking. If you do, no rewards.

I too have had problems with the online balance system. Money was wrapped up for DAYS on purchases I never made. I contacted the bank about this since they were holding the funds. Again, they did nothing!

I am going to be pulling ALL my accounts soon. And I am glad to see someone else is expressing complaints about this terrible BANK!

This same thing happened to me too..

First i got random overdraft charges, and then more overdraft charges on top of that, sometimes i'd get over 6 overdraft charges in one day. I am so fed up and i shouldnt have EVER switched to this bank. WORST dicision of my life. PLUS it was their random overdraft charges that made my account negitive in the first place, bc i acutally am good with my money

I agree with you , I just have a problem with them too. Their customer service is really bad, She hang up on me when I ask question on the phone. I think that's really unapproriate. And the worst thing is she denied it. she said it's a misunderstanding!. What a bad customer service, won't banking with them anymore just because of this one person.

US Bank has been given so much control in such an unregulated fashion by the FIDC. They fraud consumers and are in such great standing financially because of their business practices with their "customers." I would not recommend this bank to any one, anywhere, at any time. I am so sorry that my wonderful local, 51-year-old California bank was sold by the U.S. Government to US Bank because my account has been a nightmare ever since the takeover of Downey Savings Bank - a truly GREAT bank for California consumers.

As of today 12/4/2009, I too have close both my accounts with US Bank for the reasons that funds from both my accounts have been desimated by unjust over charges and unreasonable fees with no, very little or unsatisfactory explaination or responce from the bank. I set up two account with them over a year ago. One was my primary account which was used for paying bills and a secondary that was set up to prevent overdraft fees. Unfortunately this was a futile attempt to protect myself from excessive and unfair fees since all to often I still fell victim to a banking system that still found ways to benefit despite my ever diligent efforts to prevent unnecessary and excessive fees. If and when my primary account was low, the money from my secondary was not transfered to my primary until the bank first imposed overdraft fees of $34.00 and then a transfer fee of $22.00. And never did they justify this practice or refund me for their errors. Today my account had over $190.00 missing. This was not the first time there were discrepancies. There excuse this time was because a portion of my funds were being held? A teller showed me that I had been charge for a transfer fee of $22.00 on 11/30 for a transfer I made at an ATM on the 28th. The banks most rescent excuse was that it was my error that stems back to August. Excuse me? Even IF there had been a mistake in August, my accounts were well funded since and should not reflect so much missing funds now. This fact reflects and is in my opinion a definate result of a failed system of abuse by a bank that must deem it's customers as being naieve. Bottom line this bank should be audited. In 30+ years of banking I have never experienced anything remotely like this with any other financial institution. If anyone were to ask me if they should open an account with this bank, my reply would be...Absolutely Not. In fact my teenager recently became a member of the work force. I was going to open her an account with my bank. Another bank will now get my banking business. My experience with this bank can only be defined by the feeling you would have if you'd been burglarized. I feel my trust of personal banking has been violated. It is now my intention to contact what ever entity neccesary to investigate what is obviously unexceptable and will have a negative effects on how I do and to whom I will bank with in the future. As I can see now I am not alone. During these economic times you would think this behavior would not be tolerated by anyone! Especially when tax payers bailed out the very institutions we are suppose to be able to trust with our livlihoods.

I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same

I have had similar problems and have been looking around online since. Everwhere I look are pages and pages of countless complaints against US banks practices. Primarily the manipulation of funds to maximize the application of overdraft fees. This financial institution obviously has no integrity what so ever. I am done with them as well.

I was negative 5 dollars yes only 5, and now owe 390 dollars, no one would return my phone calls in regards to my account, and a year later still no one will return phone calls. it is now not allowed to charge the fees they charged me and im now in collections, which i just found out about 9 days ago. they have set their sysem up so they dont have any responsibility to reverse the fees. heck, when you get to some one who can they dont return phone calls. i hate us bank and tell everyone i can. lets hope soon i can get some one to call me cuz i dont know what else to do. not good business, ugggghh

I have now had this account for four years. Most of that time, no matter how many times I corrected my address with them, they still did not send me my statements. They have changed my due date AFTER I have paid my pamyment. Once, I authorized a single $20 payment from my Chase account. They took out three payments! The most recent scam (and I don't say scam lightly) is this: On 12/04/10, my due date, I owed an $18 minimum payment. I authorized it on www.usbank.com, their own website. I had more than enough funds in my Chase account. The website VERIFIED with me that the amount HAD BEEN PROCESSED. However, two days later, my US Bank card was over my $500 credit limit. I looked it up online. What happened was simple; US Bank never took out the payment that I authorized and charged me a $25 late fee. This was the last straw! I called several times and even tried e-mail correspondence. They refused to take off the late fee, so now I am refusing to pay them. They have scammed me one too many times. US Bank is a joke! DO NOT BANK WITH THEM!!! As of 01/04/2011, they did not receive a payment from me, and they will not receive future payments. I told the representative I last spoke to this, and I told him that I would also sue them if they put this on my credit file, and I meant it! Don't let banks push you around like that, and don't bank with US Bank.
